1269: Barberus Bragge becomes Chief of the Wizards' Council. The Golden Snidget is introduced as part of the game of Quidditch. At a Quidditch match, Bragge released a Golden Snidget and offered one-hundred and fifty Galleons to whichever player caught it; this proved so popular that a new position was added to Quidditch teams, the "Hunter", whose sole task was to catch a Golden Snidget released onto the pitch during the game.
